Sheikh Hasina, the primary defendant in the majority of the genocide charges, will be brought back to the nation and put on trial before the tribunal, according to Mohammad Tajul Islam, the recently appointed lead prosecutor for the state’s cases at the International Crimes Tribunal.

He made these comments during a press conference at the International Crimes Tribunal on Sunday, following his assumption of office.

The chief prosecutor said: “The primary challenge is to collect all evidence related to the genocides that occurred in July and August. We will ensure justice for everyone involved in the genocide, and the trials will be conducted in a manner acceptable to all parties.”

Tajul Islam added that the prosecution team will apply for the arrest of the accused during the investigation. “Although I previously worked as a defense lawyer for the accused at the tribunal, there are no legal complications in fighting the case on behalf of the state now. The appointment of tribunal judges will be expedited.”

In order to decide on the next course of action, the recently established prosecution team said that they would meet with the government’s temporary investigating agency.

They stated that the matter of naming 29 journalists in a single case will be examined.
